I thought you might enjoy a sweet compilation

of birthday ideas and inspiration

perhaps you are planing a special b-day party soon

and like myself are terrified of endless arcade games

and giant houses filled with air

and children screaming in delight at the top of their lungs

to the point of your ear drums exploding?

Does the idea of a backyard barbeque with adult interaction

and a chance to show off your creative spirit

and make all the other moms blush and applaud

your martha stewart you can do it attitude!

make you feel giddy and excited?

ME too!

Well I don't have little ones

so maybe I'm being a tad overzealous

of how much energy moms really have

but I know you gals have what it takes!!!

because after-all it's the blogging creative world

that I retrieve my inspiration from!

Loving ideas from ~

"Kate's Fairy Garden Birthday Party" - The TomKat Studio

"How to Throw a Super Fun, Super Cheap Event" - Babble.com

"Kendy's Big First Birthday... Party!" - Karli of Retro Plants

"DIY Pinata" - Everyday Celebrating & Inchmark

Sweetie World Candy!

If your like every other mom out there

you probably have oodles of pictures of everyone else

but none of you! Make sure you change that!

Nothing's more sad that a scrapbook missing mommas face

after all, someday when you are looking back through memory lane

with your children they are going to want to see mom too -

yes even those embarrassing haircuts and spandex pants

~

once the energy comes back

but before the next round of birthday bashes come around

make the memories last

and to insure that all your hard work is not quickly forgotten

document the special day!

That is why I am so excited about my new kit

Birthday girl

Here I am on my 7th birthday

gosh I remember going and seeing Beauty and the Beast in Theaters

the ball room scene where the room seems to spin still enchants me

visit my blog for my scrap pages using my new kit

and for all the digi kit sources
